The Lucha Brothers were one of the top Tag Teams in AEW for years. Penta left the company in 2024, while Rey Fénix parted ways earlier this year.

Both men eventually made their way to WWE, but debuted at different times and on different brands. Penta joined the RAW roster, while Fénix arrived later on SmackDown, keeping the brothers apart during their first months in the company.

Last night, the duo finally reunited on AAA Alianzas. After AAA Mega Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano defeated El Hijo del Vikingo and Dragon Lee in a Tag Team match, The Lucha Brothers appeared on the titantron and issued a major challenge.

They called out Dirty Dom and Americano for a match at AAA Guerra de Titanes on December 20, which was accepted.

The Lucha Bros last teamed up on an episode of AEW Rampage in July 2024.
